![]() In a re-watch of this episode, I actually closed my eyes and just listened to the soundtrack which is filled with homages to the music of Hitchcock films from composer Murray Gold. All she has to do is not blink in front of the Weeping Angels. Sally with some cryptic messages on the DVD extras needs to rescue the Doctor and Martha who are stuck in 1969. Later on a her friend Kathy disappears and Kathy immediately discovers that she has been sent back to the past and the mysterious statues are responsible for it. ![]() Sally Sparrow (Carey Mulligan) in 2007 goes to a creepy old house to take photographs and sees a mysterious message on the wall asking her to duck. A one off companion who takes the lead and a few years later became a Best Actress Oscar nominee. A lot of it just came together for Blink which probably owes more to serendipity. ![]() Possibly one of the greatest episode of a science fiction television show ever. 10/10 Perfection!!! I walk past some of the statues used every day, and I STILL LOOK AND WONDER!!!! Two of my favourite episodes of all time are two Doctor light episodes, this number 1, and number 2 turn left. I love the characters, I love the creation of the Weeping Angels, but.the wasted opportunity of not bringing back Sally Sparrow remains my only gripe, but Who knows, maybe one day we'll see a return. It's creepy, it's funny, it's totally and insanely imaginative. Blink made such an impact, I can remember actually watching it, what I had for food and drink, where I sat, it was that memorable. ![]() With Human Nature and The Family of Blood the series had again hit the very highest form, and Blink proves to be even better, a masterpiece. The series so far, has actually been very strong on the whole, the three weaker stories clumped together, Daleks and Lazarus, have been the only misfits in what's been a clever, bold and imaginative series. There aren't many superlatives I can use, that haven't been mentioned before, but this episode, even now, is still one of the high points in the show's history, classic or new. ![]()
